: Fog I mostly don't use because one of my favorite visual features of Eternal
: is the high-res 360-degree landscape textures, and fog obscures the
: landscape entirely. If there were some way to have fog and still see the
: landscape, I would use it in a heartbeat.

This is how you have fog without obscuring the landscape:

-fog on="true" type="0" depth="96" landscapes="false">
-color red="0.67" green="0.67" blue=".6"/>
-/fog>

(again, "-" instead of "<")

It's the "lanscapes = false" bit that does the trick. Just be careful to make sure the fog matches the landscapes, or it'll look really bad.

: Glow maps I don't use because the only textures which I might want to make
: glow, at other times I want to be not glowing, so I accomplish that with
: plain old map lighting. Unless glow maps do something different that I
: don't understand... they're like how the Fighter's staff-heads always glow
: in the dark, right? More or less setting the brightness value "higher
: than 100%"?

Glowmaps are like textures, except instead of color values, they give brightness values. So in a sense, yes, they're like a hunter's staff. But much more subtle.

: And animated textures I don't use because I've run out of texture slots.
: Which kinda blows cause I have animations for my media and my terminals
: and chargers and all that, but I can't utilize them. Grr...

Can't help you there, I'm afraid.. ;)

How many textures do you have pr set anyway? Obviously more than Rubicon, since we never hit the wall...
